Walk Off Mat cleaning can provide extra level of Safety
Walk off mat cleaning
Walk-off mats play a critical part in keeping your customers and employees safe. According
to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration
(OSHA), slips, trips and falls constitute the majority of accidents in industries across the board, nearly four million injuries annually. They are the cause of about 15 percent of accidental deaths in the United States, second only to car accidents.
These statistics are no secret and unfortunately the excuse of “not knowing” your entryway was a slip hazard will not lessen your liability. Doctors’ offices, retail establishments, restaurants, schools and most commercial places rely on walk-off mats to keep employees and customers safe. Mats play such as imperative part of safety that OSHA is preparing new rules to govern the use of mats. “Walking Working Surfaces and Personal Fall Protection Systems (Slips, Trips, and Fall Prevention)” is expected sometime in 2015.
Cushioned mats are popular with employees who stand all day at a counter. Cashiers, pharmacists and scientists are among those workers who rely on mats to prevent back and leg problems.
Placement
Where you place your mats will be one of the priorities covered under the new rules, followed by maintenance of the heavy-duty floor protectors. It’s easy to move a mat to clean the floor uniformly, though many cleaning companies leave them in place and sweep over them.
But floor mats can produce a host of hazardous toxins in the form of mold and mildew that make them ineffective and dangerous. Lack of proper care of your floor mat investments can result in a shorter lifespan, which leads to higher costs.
Proper Walk off Mat Cleaning
Professional cleaning companies, such as Gator Cleaning Solutions understand your dilemma and the need for proper walk off mat cleaning. As part of the regular nightly cleaning, the crew lifts the mats and cleans the floors underneath. This simple task also ensures that your floors remain evenly cleaned and protected. When mats are lifted nightly, you likely won’t see any discoloration under them.
As part of your floor maintenance program
, Cleaning crews from Gator Cleaning lift and clean all your mats separately, from your front
entrance to behind the reception areas. Our cleaning crews inspect the front and back of the mats. If they find any potential wear problems, they’ll report them to you. Most importantly, mats are never replaced until they are dry from air-drying or wiping.
That’s the difference when you hire professionals. You won’t develop mold under your mats; your floors are clean everywhere and your mats will last longer. Your reputation is protected when you provide mats for safety. Your place of business remains sparkling fresh and odor-free from top to bottom — even under the bottom.
Opportunity for Branding
Mats have come a long way and provides an opportunity to welcome customers and staff with a professional branding image. First impressions can make or break a business and a clean and orderly entry can make a difference! The costs for a logo mat is not as much as one might think and Gator Cleaning Solutions has the connections to set it up for you!
